Top 5 minimalist interior design ideas and tips

Trying to give an interesting aura to your room, you often add one item after another, and end up distorting the definition of the space. Minimalist designs come as a respite for everyone struggling from the clutter and the lack of harmonious design in their houses. The fundamental idea behind minimalism in interior design in Singapore is to have a thoughtfully chosen space for every piece in the room. It ensures that your décor blends with the colour of your walls and add the same time has a tinge of sophistication and functionality. Read on to know 5 useful ideas on how minimalism can be used to create uniquely pleasing feel.

Do away with the clutter

De-cluttering is the first step to achieve minimalism in your interior design. Do not have anything apart from bare essentials in your shelves. Remember, designing is not about stocking. You can keep the rest of the material in cupboards. The idea behind this is that every item is as important as the next, and is essential in completing the overall look and feel of your room. De-cluttering also helps you finally get rid of things that you do not require for a long time.

Combine elements of similar style

Arrange the items in your living rooms or any other rooms in a way that similar elements can complement each other well. Minimalism focuses on delivering bold and energetic statements, subtly. You can start by gathering all your home décor things from shelves, walls, and desks, and classifying them. This can be done for stationery, artefacts, photo-frames or any group of items.

Introduce lines and shapes

Minimalist designs bank on geometrical patterns and well-defined lines and shapes. Remember the reasons behind having a certain room was, in the first place. Make everything easily accessible. Have streamlined shapes for electronics. Flat surfaces for cabinets work best. Detailing is best done with stainless steel and chrome. Have interesting combinations of shapes while accessorizing as well.

Don't forget the basics

Harmony is the heart and soul of minimalist interior design. For instance, nothing in the room should stick out as being too big or too small. It is actually tricky to ensure balance and proportion in a room that already has very limited items. Have sufficient empty spaces. If you have task lamps and plants to rest on one side of your bed, do it for the other side too. The most important rule is that of balancing visual weight—make sure both sides of the room weigh more or less the same.

Use colour to define your room

Before you use colour for minimalism, you should be familiar with how natural light behaves and looks in the room. Based on that, decide on a very modest colour palette. Have ranges of hues from the same colour family, or use pleasant pastel shades. To avoid making your room look sterile and boring, have a monochromatic colour scheme and introduce an interesting piece of furniture in red or blue. It is important not to overdo the contrast or dilute the effect by adding to the number of such elements.
